The 432 Series is our 1/2″ manual reset snap disc. This series is ideally suited for applications where you want to call special attention to a specific temperature malfunction. The 432 series can be used as a safety limit that will break on temperature rise. Our manual reset thermostat switches are ideal when you want to call special attention to a temperature malfunction. Because the switch needs to be manually reset, a human must interact with the switch and solve the problem before the equipment or appliance can work again.
The 432 thermostats use a bimetal disc for snap action, providing positive and instantaneous opening of the electric circuit. The 432 series can be used as a safety limit that will break on temperature rise. Once tripped, the thermostat can be reset once the temperature has dropped a minimum of 25°F. The reset differential will increase as the specified break temperature increases.

Frequently Asked Questions
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
A snap disc temperature switch that opens (limit) when temperature rises in a system.
It’s simple. Press the red button!
These temperature switches are used when the switch should NOT reset once the system has shut down and returned to ambient temperature. Someone needs to interfere with the system before safely operating again.
For small quantities, we can build anything from 0°F to 350°F. Contact us for higher temperatures.
One of the standout characteristics of an exposed cap is its’ use of a black exposed disc. This disc serves as a crucial element in sensing temperature fluctuations swiftly, enabling the switch to respond rapidly to environmental changes. This quick thermal response is especially important in applications where precise temperature control is paramount, such as in thermostats, industrial control systems, and appliances. The exposed caps are available for all non-epoxied snap disc thermostats within the Senasys catalog.

One of the key advantages of gold contacts is their significantly lower contact resistance when compared to high-current silver contacts. This low resistance translates into improved electrical conductivity, allowing for smoother and more reliable signal transmission. This is especially important in applications where even the slightest interruption or distortion in the signal could lead to critical errors or malfunctions.
For more information on when gold contacts should be used, click here.
A snap disc thermostat does not use any power. Instead it acts as a circuit breaker for a system.
The body of the switch is plastic, and the mounting cap is either steel, aluminum, or brass.
